Moses Wilhelm Shapira (Hebrew: מוזס וילהלם שפירא; 1830 – March 9, 1884) was a Jerusalem antiquities dealer and purveyor of both authentic and forged Semitic antiquities, including some allegedly Biblical artifacts, the most high profile of which was the Shapira Scroll.[1][2][3] The shame brought about by accusations that he was involved in the forging of ancient biblical texts drove him to suicide in 1884. Recent scholarship by Idan Dershowitz says Shapira may have found a predecessor to the canonical book of Deuteronomy.[4]
